Chapter 364: Expedition to the West
Whoever does not kill me will make me stronger.
After so many years, what wind and waves have not been experienced?
"Sima Zhao wants to change the pattern with just one Chen Tai, wishful thinking." Yang Zheng looked at his two disciples calmly.
"Chen Tai colluded with Du Tong, who is hateful!" Meng Guan said angrily.
Concern is chaos, Du Tong is already a betrayer in his eyes.
"The general must have a countermeasure." Pang Qing is blind trust.
"Those who want to betray will always betray, and it is not a good thing for us to take a stand at this time."
At the beginning, Sima Yi and Master Sima sat in Luoyang, drew their swords and looked around, asking the world who dared to do anything.
Wang Ling jumped out and was killed.
Biqiu Jian jumped out and was destroyed as well.
Now Yang Zheng's situation is the same, he drew his sword and looked westward, asking who dared to pick up my Feng!
Du Tong jumped out by himself now, didn't he give Yang Zheng a reason to swing his sword?
Most things in the world are like this, there are pros and cons, it depends on the sword in your hand and from what angle you can crack it.
The army of 50,000 sharpened its swords, and Zhang Ye was by his side.
Yongzhou is unprecedentedly empty.
Just one Chen Tai, what can I do?
Meng Guan and Pang Qing instantly understood, and the discouragement on their faces was swept away, "My subordinates know!" ”
Now we can't afford to fight a large-scale war, but it's okay to fight a small local war.
"Summoning Du Pre, Wei Qian, and Peng Hu to discuss the matter, by the way, let Suo Jing come too."
Lu Zhi temporarily sat in the Western Capital, in charge of Tuntian affairs, but he couldn't catch up.
"Yui!" The two stepped back.
Yang Zheng went out and stretched.
Looking at the soldiers in the barracks, the mood became more and more comfortable.
Sima Zhao and Chen Tai had no choice but to play these imaginary things.
Hanging Sima Yi and Sima Shi by themselves and scolding them, if they were sure, hundreds of thousands of troops would have come long ago.
In the afternoon, people came one after another.
"Now that the general has become a sweeper of Liangzhou, Du Tong is not afraid, and Chen Tai has no ability to counterattack Liangzhou, the reason why he provoked Du Tong is nothing more than to fear that our army will attack and disturb Guanzhong, and at the same time, it is also brave for Ma Yan." After Wei Qian read the secret letter, he quickly guessed Chen Tai's intentions.
The situation in Yongliang is just as he said, it is not that Yang Zheng is afraid that Chen Tai will come to Liangzhou, but that Chen Tai is afraid that Yang Zheng will attack Guanzhong.
Because the autumn harvest is coming soon.
Moreover, in the Battle of Yuyin, the Yongliang Army has been abolished, and Chen Tai does not have many troops in his hands.
Deng Ai was also licking his wounds in Nan'an.
And after Yang Zheng's integration, the strength in his hands not only did not decline, but increased.
"In that case, why don't you wave your troops to the east and take Chang'an?" Peng Hu's eyes were shining.
There was a moment of silence in the hall.
Meng Guan and Pang Qing, who were onlookers, had fiery eyes.
Du Yu poured a scoop of cold water down, "If you go all out and pour the country out, it is not difficult to take Chang'an, but the difficulty is that you can't hold it, Sima Zhao will come to the country, then Du Tong and Ma Yan are in the west, Deng Ai is behind, our army will be in danger of overturning, at this time, we should not be entangled with Chen Tai, we should quickly take Gaochang, coerce Zhangye, and deter Jiuquan." ”
Yang Zheng actually means the same thing.
The problem is not in Guanzhong, but in the hands of others such as Tongguan and Wuguan.
Fighting with Sima Zhao, scolding Sima Yi, and there is no shortage of meat, Sima Zhao can still hold down the coffin board of Sima's house.
But if Chang'an is taken, the situation will be very different.
Sanfu overturned, Si Li shook, even for the sake of face, Sima Zhao had to play with himself.
Moreover, fighting a battle in Anding is completely different from fighting a battle in Chang'an.
Having an inside advantage is the Sima family.
"The time has not yet come to attack Guanzhong!" Yang Zheng made the final decision.
Eat one bite at a time, and strategic determination is very important.
Besides, Chen Tai, Sima Fu, Sima Wang, and Deng Ai are not dry meals.
Chang'an is a Xiongcheng in the world, with a large population, and there are two support armies of Deng Ai and Sima Wang, which have been defended for a year and a half, and it is not difficult.
Zhuge Ke Yin Jian is not far away.
"Our army is far away, Du Tong sneaks up, what should I do?" Meng Guan asked.
Du Yu shook his head and said: "Du Tong will not sneak attack, this person is a Confucian scholar, if he is a soldier, he will not be provoked by Chen Tai's words." ”
Indeed, Zhangye is almost surrounded by himself, with Wuwei in the east, Xihai in the south, and Huangfulong in the west.
If Du Tong knew a little about the art of war, he should not detain Du Kuan, but secretly prepare to cooperate with Chen Tai's future counterattack.
"If the general recovers the Western Regions and returns to Jiuquan and Zhangye, then Du Tong can surrender without a fight." Du Yu said calmly.
It is best to surrender without a fight and avoid an internal conflict.
The population of Liangzhou is not large.
"It can make Jiang control the Qiang cavalry and plunder the three auxiliaries, so that Chen Tai is tired of running for his life." Wei Qian's eyes rolled around, and a poisonous trick blurted out.
"Yes!" Yang Zheng agreed without thinking about it.
Du Yu's brows furrowed, but he remained silent in the end.
The decision has been decided, Yang Zheng no longer hesitated, and left Du to preside over the overall situation of Wuwei, and Wei Qian was the deputy.
Mobilize 12,000 people from the guard battalion and 4,000 light cavalry battalions, and ride 16,000 people on foot to the south of the Dadou Tu Valley and enter Xihai County.
When he arrived at Haixi City, he joined Zhang Te's 3,000 cavalry and advanced into the Western Regions.
This road is what merchants call the Qiangzhong Road.
The Qiangzhong Road is also a secondary road in the Hexi Corridor.
It is connected to Huangzhong Road in the east, and there are two routes into the Western Regions in the west.
All the way through the Qaidam Basin, north to Dunhuang.
One went far around the East Kunlun Mountain, entered the Wuqiang Kingdom, advanced directly into Loulan, and appeared behind the Gaochang Kingdom.
Both roads are not easy to walk, but the desert of this era is far less large than that of later generations, and there are many oases along the way, with merchants from the Western Regions leading the way, and the army is unimpeded.
In fact, according to the art of war, a cavalry circumnavigated the East Kunlun Mountains, crossed the desert, and it was best for surprise soldiers to raid Gaochang.
But Yang Zheng didn't dare to take risks.
This road is the road of death even in the Hereafter, let alone this era.
His own strength surpasses Gaochang, and he can play steadily.
Sleeping in the open air all the way, the hot desert, the dry Gobi, the wasteland with little life, and the stone forest that seems to be a god and a ghost, the wind is incessant all day long, whining, as if a ghost is crying.
There are crises everywhere, sometimes people suddenly fall into quicksand, sometimes snakes stand in the way, sometimes rolling rocks fall, and sometimes, when you close your eyes at night, you become a cold corpse in the morning......
All of this is testing the will of the soldiers.
However, Yang Zheng's army was very different from the army of this era, and Xuanyi Lang did his duty with all his heart and soul to appease the emotions of the soldiers.
The gong and drummers also came in handy, giving the boring and dreary march some cheerful atmosphere.
It took a month for this expeditionary force to appear under Yangguan City.
Huang Fulong personally brought people to greet him.
The crane has a childish face and a flushed face, as if Yang Zheng saw the fairy on the New Year's painting when he was a child.
It is rumored that Wei Wu personally asked him for the art of longevity, and it has been more than 30 years since Wei Wu died, and Huang Fulong still looks good.
History says that he lived to be one hundred and sixty years old......
"Juniors meet the emperor!" Yang Zheng didn't dare to take it big, but if he really counted, Yang Zheng was still his great-grandchild.
"General Yang has tormented the old man." Huang Fulong bowed his hand, smiled lovely, and looked at Yang Zheng gently.
Although the eyes are gentle, they are extremely deep, as if they want to penetrate people's hearts, but they do not make people feel uncomfortable.
"The country is difficult, and the society is in danger, but fortunately, there is a public upheld loyalty and thanked Dawei for his righteousness, what can I say?"
Huang Fulong laughed, and after laughing, he sighed: "The general is young and promising, and the dragon and phoenix are also among the people!" ”
This sounds like an exchange of pleasantries and an ulterior motive.
Yang Zheng only regarded it as a polite remark and entered the customs with Huang Fulong.
